Region-Wide Baseline for On-Site Rainwater Management

Description:Metro Vancouver and the Stormwater Interagency Liaison Group with the assistance of Kerr Wood Leidal have developed options for the Region-Wide Baseline for On-Site Rainwater Management tool. The Baseline is the required minimum level of onsite rainwater management. The options consist of a set of rainwater management tools that can be used in the absence of an ISMP to provide minimum protection of downstream watershed health. These options are for single family and small multi-family developments and re-developments. They include minimum criteria, standard drawings, construction and maintenance checklists, and a bylaw template.
This presentation will provide an overview of the Baseline tools, the methodology behind them, and how they can help municipalities fulfill their LWMP stormwater commitments.
